ProCAST

The leading Finite Element solution for casting process simulation

Throughout the manufacturing industry, casting process simulation is now widely accepted
as an important tool in product design and process development to improve
yield and casting quality.

Based on powerful Finite Element solvers and advanced specific options developed with
leading research institutes and industries, ProCAST provides an efficient and accurate
solution to meet the casting industry needs. Compared to a traditional
trial-and-error approach, ProCAST is the key solution
to reduce manufacturing costs, shorten lead times for mold developments and
improve the casting process quality.

ProCAST provides a complete software solution allowing for predictive evaluations of the
entire casting process including mold filling, solidification, microstructure and
thermo-mechanical simulations. It enables to rapidly visualize the effects of
mold design and allows for correct decision making at an early stage of the manufacturing process.

Continuous Casting

ProCAST provides a complete solution for continuous and semi-continuous casting
process simultation. The software can simulate steady-state conditions as
well as the initial and final stages of continuous casting processes.

The simulation of continuous casting processes includes:

Horizontal and vertical continuous and
semi-continuous casting

Direct chill
casting

Strip
casting

Twin-roll

Hazlett
process

The Inverse Module enables the automatic calculation of material of process parameters
based on measured temperatures at given locations or times. Primary and
secondary cooling can be determined by inverse modeling.
